How to plan for your career on Wall Street while still in College

Welcome back,

It’s time to really start diving into the resources I’ve written for younger analysts pursuing a career in Credit. A lot of the upcoming posts over the next few months are going to be for younger professionals/college students.

Consider this is as the official course for Non-Targets looking to break into Private Credit, Direct Lending, or High Yield Credit. As a fellow Non-Target, this should be the best and top “How To” offering out there for prospective credit folks.

Last year I made “The High Yield Harry Guide to High Yield” in an effort to talk through the basics of recruiting for buy-side public and private credit seats. There is more I want to cover – but to recap here’s what I already covered.

• A list of hundreds of public and private credit firms

• Basics on pursuing a seat in public credit (broadly syndicated term loans and high yield bonds) vs. private credit (direct lending/unitranche/mezzanine/minority equity)

I want to expand on each area I did not cover to provide a comprehensive guide mainly for college students and people a few years out of school (but it may be relevant for anyone else recruiting or trying to break into a new role).

Consider this the official kick-off of my Credit Resources Guide
